Jordan & Justine's Weekend Adventures:
Go Go Green features our favorite adventurous characters, Jordan
and Justine, who are part of a Go Go Green campaign in their
community. Through this campaign, they teach young readers about the
environment, how to take small everyday steps to save energy, how to
participate in helping their community, and why it is so important to
care about the Earth!

The multicultural cast
of characters in this book also explores how Native American culture
works in harmony with the environment for resources and how modern
living negatively affects the environment. The book will also explore
teaching children new words in Spanish.

As we prepare to
make Earth Day every day of the year, Tanille offers some tips on getting kids to help
protect the environment:

Don’t waste water. Teach
children to turn off the water while brushing their teeth.

Turn off the lights. Ask
kids to turn off the lights when leaving the room.

Plant a garden. Have the
kids help grow lettuce, tomatoes, broccoli and herbs in the
backyard. The food tastes better and there are no pesticides!

Recycle. Enlist kids to
help sort out things that can be recycled – paper, plastic, glass
and aluminum. You can also show kids that you buy products made with
recycled ingredients.

Compost. Have the kids put
their leftover food – apple cores, banana peels, etc in a compost
bin that can then be used as garden fertilizer.
